Overwhelmed by Motherhood

Have you ever felt overwhelmed with everything you have to do in order to take care of your family? The feeding, cleaning, schooling, shopping and just being mentally available to them can be taxing. Well, friends, that is the place I’m in right now.

Yes, I have a new baby, she’s 6 weeks old, and obviously that is enough by itself. It takes time to adjust, to get your hormones back on track and to just figure out a schedule that works after having a baby. I get that. It’s no surprise. But, throw in 5 sick kids where one or more of them is up multiple times a night coughing and throwing up for 2 weeks+, now that’s where my struggling comes in!

I have good days and bad days. Optimistic days and pessimistic days. Weepy days and happy days. But, above all, when my strength seems to wain, I just have to take a step back, take a deep breath and realize this too shall pass. And pray. Pray that God will give me the strength to endure another day of this sickness. Pray that my children will get better quickly. Pray that my husband and I will have patience and kindness flowing out of us, because we don’t feel that way most of the time.

So…if you find that I’m MIA here on Sidetracked Sarah, it’s not because I’m gone forever, it’s just because I’ve been sidetracked by life! My family comes first, as I know yours would, too! Please pray for a speedy recovery for our family!!

I hope to be back in full force soon, but until then, you’ll be seeing a set of very random blog posts from me.

In the mean time, don’t forget that today is the very last day you can purchase the Ebook Library for Moms. I told you about it last week, but thought I’d mention that after 11:59 p.m. ET tonight, you will no longer be able to grab these 78 amazing ebooks for one low price! If you missed that post, be sure to check out the description of everything you’d receive, right here. It’s well worth the money spent, just for the free gifts alone!

Thank you so much! As a special needs mommy these recipes have helped us so much. I often am very busy with being a nurse for our child that I don't have time for making sure we get meals. This allows me to do all my prep on the weekends, while my husband is home to help, and to cook during the week. So grateful!

Sarah’s Freezer to Slow Cooker ebooks have been a fantastic addition to my meal plans. They make meal planning easy and my family happy. I love the way each recipe is laid out, with a shopping list and ingredient prep list, along with cooking instructions. Sarah’s done all the hard work for me! The recipes have used have all been delicious and easily adaptable to my family’s taste and the number of people I’m serving.

I purchased all of your freezer to slow cooker ebooks a month or so ago and I'm in love with this way of cooking. I now have taken all 10 weeks of recipes and written them of my menu planner and then I repeated the 10 weeks and will continue to do so throughout the year. My family of 5 adults and 1 child enjoy the meals that you have planned and I have cooked and I'm excited that the next time when that meal comes due up in the rotation I won't have to purchase anything but just pull it from the freezer. Thank you so much

This makes my life so much easier. I'm a busy work at home/stay at home mom, wife, business woman and I feel like dinner is always the thing I just never get time to do. We have done like 15 of the crockpot recipes from Sarah and they are all very yummy. They get a thumbs up from my husband and kids every time. And there is always enough for my husband to take the left overs at least 2x per recipe. I have a family of 5, 2 adults, 21, 13, 16. So it makes plenty. Thank you Sarah.

I am a 59-year-old wife and mother of two grown children. I love your idea of fixing a lot of meals ahead of time and then pulling one out, put it in the crockpot, and you have dinner when you get home. I hate feeling rushed when I cook so Monday - Friday I use those crockpot meals and make enough that we have lunch the next day. I take Sunday afternoon, fix up what I need for the week (I don't have a lot of freezer space so I do a week's worth at a time) and I'm done with it! Saturdays I like to try new recipes from some of my cookbooks which I am finding I can freeze as well! So you have shown me a whole new way to organize my time and still put a healthy meal on the table. Thanks so much and I look forward to future blogs.
